An internal status page is served as ordinary unencrypted web traffic. Which port should a firewall permit for that page?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
The page is a plain web conversation, not the locked one. You permit TCP 80. The encrypted web port, the remote shell, and the mail transfer are different doors.
Full Explanation
Ordinary unencrypted web traffic is HTTP, and HTTP uses TCP port 80. The status page is that traffic, so the firewall should permit TCP 80. TCP port 443 is HTTPS, the encrypted web port. This page is specifically unencrypted. TCP port 22 is SSH. TCP port 25 is SMTP. Neither one serves the status page. Exam caveat: an unencrypted page on the internal network is still readable by anyone on that network. The port answers the question. It is not a reason to publish secrets there. Operational check: permit TCP 80, open the status page, and confirm it does not require the encrypted port. Permit that port only toward the status server, then open the page and confirm it loads. Record the result on the ticket.
